Every administration does this, with almost no exceptions. This isn't about Puff, but having Gaetz as AG and Clayton in Southern District could change the outcome in Puff's favor.

but yes, it's going to be Jay Clayton replacing Damian Williams.

Him getting rid of certain officials is expected
But how does this impact the trial, apparently the feds have a mountain of evidence
Would the replacement really throw all that away for a dude Trump doesn't even need
I don't see what Trump (or the replacement) gains by getting involved in a messy situation where the public consensus is Puffy is guilty as fukk
The replacement has to care. The prosecutor to that case to make a name for himself. The replacement can be indifferent and feel it’s a waste of taxpayers’ time, money, and resources.

A few things:

career prosecutors are going to leave the US Attorneys Office

all it takes is a nod from Gaetz a nod from Clayton, and a prosecutor who will just file a motion, based on anything, to dismiss the charges. A federal judge would have to sign off on that. so that's one potential roadblock.

This has nothing to do with him. Read the article.

Under Williams’ leadership, the SDNY, historically known for handling complex white-collar cases, has secured the high-profile convictions of fallen crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried, investor and Archegos Capital founder Bill Hwang and exiled Chinese tyc00n and Steve Bannon associate Guo Wengui.

Williams has also aggressively prioritized going after public corruption, winning a conviction earlier this year against New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez.
His departure will come as SDNY is pursuing the high-profile bribery and corruption case against Mayor Adams and a series of other probes connected to City Hall.

It was not immediately clear how Williams’ departure might affect Adams’ case, though Trump has said he believes the mayor was unfairly targeted. “We were persecuted, Eric,” Trump said to Adams during the recent Al Smith charity dinner. “You’re gonna win, Eric.”

Adams, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, came under fire from fellow Democrats in the run-up to the election for comments about Trump that were seen as out of step with the party’s position. Asked for the mayor’s reaction to the Clayton pick, his spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak said: “As Mayor Adams has said, every elected leader has a right to nominate and appoint the people they see best fit to serve. President-elect Trump is no different.
